The important news is that Kazuma Okamoto homered, a two-run shot.

Beyond that, Jose Berrios pitched 2.2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk with 2 strikeouts. It doesn’t sound great, but he allowed them in his third inning of work. And I think he’s the first Jay to throw more than two innings in a game this spring.

Other pitchers:

  • Connor Larkin got the last out of the third.
  • Braydon Fisher threw one inning with a hit, walk and two strikeouts.
  • Mason Fluharty: 1 inning, 2 strikeouts.
  • Jorge Alcala: 1 innings, 1 unearned run, 1 walks and a strikeout. He got the loss, because of a C.J. Stubbs throwing error trying to catch a stealing baserunner.
  • Josh Fleming gave up a hit (a home run, walk, earned run, with a strikeout in his 1.1 innings.
  • Chad Dallas got the last five outs, four of them strikeouts.

Hitters, starters:

  • Andrés Giménez: 0 for 2, k.
  • Ernie Clement: 0 for 1, k and a hit by pitch.
  • Vlad Guerrero: 0 for 1, walk.
  • Alejandro Kirk: 0 for 2.
  • Addison Barger: 0 for 1 walk, k.
  • Daulton Varsho: 0 for 2.
  • Nathan Lukes: 0 for 2, k.
  • Davis Schneider: 0 for 2, k.

Others:

  • Ben Cowles: 0 for 2, k.
  • Carlos Mendoza: 2 for 2.
  • Sean Keys: 0 for 2.
  • C.J. Stubbs:1 for 1.
  • Geovanny Planchart: Walk.
  • RJ Schreck: 1 for 2, double, k.
  • Charles McAdoo: 1 for 2, RBI. He’s been in all three games and has a .500 BA. I’ve liked his defense.
  • Eloy Jiménez: 1 for 2, k.
  • Jay Harry: 0 for 2.
  • Yohendrick Pinango: 0 for 1, k.

So we are 1-2 on the spring.
